Join The Circle Of Dervishs Poem by Mohammad Younus

Join the circle of dervishs, and feeldelight,
Walk along them in the valley of faqar
Turn your back on riches and charms,
Break off the shackles of your carnal self,
If you want to be free of worldly noise.
Take the wine of love and be drunk;
Drunks neither fear nor grieve;
There is a strange frenzy in their heart;
They swim in the ever widening circles of love
They do not wander in dirt and shit;
Their example is like that of a lamb
Who is the pupil of his shepherd's eyes.
O Majnun, what are you looking for?
O bumbling bee, come on, narcissus is waiting for you
Close bodily eyes to see with your inward eye;
Close bodily ears to hear with your heart's ear;
Taste the love's nectar by the soul's tongue -
When you taste its sweetness, you will cry:
'Do you have more', 'Do you have more' -
He who drinks not the nectar now,
What hope has he to drink it tomorrow
